Abstract

Moran's search for Molloy is analysed here by articulating two different psychoanalytic models of interpretation. First the Molloy-Moran relationship is analysed from the post-kleinian perspective of the mother and the role of her thinking. Molloy is read as a destabilising figure of the un-thought which plunges Moran into a gulf that defies thinking and imagining. The second model is Lacanian and shows that the failure of the function of the Name of the Father leaves a void in the chain of signification. This can be seen through Moran's failure to understand the "question of Molloy".
